Along with the 'Davies' cabinet already under discussion I bought this Jabez Gough designed reflecting loudspeaker and I rather like it. It came with the Goodmans driver pictured, which I think was one of the recommended units around 1960. Apparently Jabez sold the plans and buyers fitted their own drivers. It sounded OK but the bass was very feeble. I changed it for the other speaker pictured, which I think is an early Kef B200 (but I could easily be wrong) and that has improved the bass immeasurably. I wonder if any members have experimented with drivers for this design? The cabinet appears to be some form of parallel labyrinth and is a joy for an inveterate fiddler like me as it is easy to extract the angled baffle and try another driver.
